This happened to my nephews 40gig model. I called around and no one at all can repair or replace except Sony. It is the blue-ray drive and only Sony has the drives used in the PS3 and refuse to wholesale them out.

On the bright side, Sony offers a free shipping option for this repair though.

 

Not true...

You can try to change it yourself, if there is no warranty anymore, you have nothing to lose.

 

Thanks for the info, If it happens to my nephew gain, or to myself, I now have a cheaper way out.

I looked and looked for these, guess I was just not looking hard enough.
